Australian Grand Dairy Awards 2018 winners announced

The winners of the 2018 Australian Grand Dairy Awards have been announced with the 2018 Grand Champion Dairy Product going to Sydney’s Pure Gelato.

In its 19th year, the Australian Grand Dairy Awards highlight the best of the best when it comes to Australia’s dairy products.

Pure Gelato was the year’s overall grand Champion, awarded the title for its Salted Pistachio Gelato. The judges described it as having “superb texture” and “rich pistachio flavour”.

For the second year running, the Australian public were invited to vote on a people’s choice award with The Yoghurt Shop’s Passionately Passionfruit Yoghurt ultimately named the winner.

Convener of the Australian Grand Dairy Awards, Amanda Menegazzo, said 2018’s winning products are a testament to the quality of Australia’s dairy industry.

“The awards are the crème de la crème of dairy and a fantastic opportunity for local farmers and producers to be recognised on a national scale for their talent, hard work and making a positive contribution to the dairy industry,” Menegazzo said.
